We Got the House!!!

So today I woke up around 8 am because I had an interview at 10:30 but I was really thinking about if we got approved to rent this home in the country.  If you read my last blog post, you know that we were supposed to find out yesterday but the office was backed up and we had to wait until today.  So I was so anxious and worried that they would call and say we didn't get it.  So before the interview, I called them and they didn't answer.  Then after the interview, I called again and they said they had just started working on it.  Then I talked to my mom and she said to calm down and if it's not meant to be then I'll find something better.  So I took her advice and calmed down and waited patiently for them to call me back.  So around 2 pm, the girl who's been working with me called me and told me that we didn't necessarily pass the credit check but that she was going to go over some things with the owner and see if we could still live there.  I then started explaining to her the things that were on my credit report and my husband's that were questionable and that cleared a lot of things up for her.  I even went as far as to say "I've eaten oodles of noodles and hot dogs for a week so that I could pay my rent in the past" because I wanted her to know that paying my rent is my #1 priority.  So, after explaining everything to her she said she would still have to talk to the owner of the house and see if everything was ok but she said she didn't think there would be a problem.  So about 40 minutes later, I got a call from her and she said we're going to go ahead and approve you.  I was ecstatic and so overjoyed.  So then she said that it would be better for the owner if we could move closer to the 1st of March because originally we were going to move on the 15th of March.  So we did some number crunching and we're going to move on the 4th which is the Friday after the 1st.  So next Friday, we'll be moving to our new place! I'm so excited about it and we already called all of the utility places to let them know to transfer service but the cool thing is that out there we have well water so we don't have to pay for water.  We also have oil heat so we don't have to pay Piedmont natural gas but we do have to pay for oil.  And we'll have to get a company to pick our trash up but I'm cool with that.  I'm just so happy, I can hardly contain myself!

Anyway we were doing some research on the best way to get there from our current house and we realized that even though it's in the country, it's actually very close to a main road in Greensboro and close to Wal Mart and other places so it's not in the middle of no where.  It's just a perfect situation.  So we talked to my mom's friend and he's still a go on building the fence but he has to see the property first to give me an estimate.  So I know it sounds crazy but I'm going to start packing tomorrow.  I mean there's so many things in the house that I don't use on a day to day basis that I can go ahead and start boxing up.  Also my mom said I could store all my Christmas decorations at her house so we don't have to move them.  So everything is working out.  I just thank God and thank all of you who prayed for me.

On another note, the interview today went great.  It was actually at a temp agency in Greensboro and it was originally for an outbound call center job which usually I don't go for because you have to call people and try to sell them stuff and they hang up on you all day.  But when I got there, I had great chemistry with the interviewer and she said she was going to submit my resume to 5 jobs!  The outbound call center actually is for a non profit well known organization so I'd be asking for charity which is fine with me.  So wish me luck on my job search cause God knows with all these moving expenses I'll need it.  I haven't heard back from Deluxe yet and the girl who "cancelled" the interview because of an "emergency" never called back to reschedule.  My thing is, please look over the resume before calling someone for an interview because if I end up being not qualified or what you're looking for, don't waste my time. 

Anyway, after I got home and called all the companies to change service and told everyone about the move, we went to this restaurant in Greensboro called Kick Back Jacks.  Now the only way I can describe it is it's like a sports bar but a large one with better food.  But I didn't really have a good experience there.  We got there and the parking lot was packed full.  Now we're thinking, "it's a Tuesday night, why is the parking lot full?"  Then we see a limo taking up 7 spaces, a Nascar Race Car in front of the restaurant and a radio station van there as well.  So when we walked in, we had to wait a little to be seated and then we ordered and got out food but there were so many people there, it was extremely loud and uncomfortable.  Sometimes you just want  a nice mid week meal with your husband and this wasn't it.  So then I got the food and the cheese fries were good but a little dry.  Then I got the steak and cheese but the bread was hard and way too over buttered.  I know this because I used to work at a restaurant and before we put a bun on a burger, we would butter the inside of the bun for flavor but this bun was super buttered.  LOL  Then I lost my appetite very quickly which is odd for me especially when I'm eating something I usually order.  So my husband and I both ended up leaving soon after with 3 take out boxes because we just weren't comfortable.  Then after I got home, before I took my nap, I was talking to my husband and I started feeling nauseous and I knew it was that food.  I mean I really had to lay down for a while and breathe slowly to get over this.  So then I took a nap before watching the Celtics game which they won and my stomach felt better but as soon as I smelled the take out boxes, I started feeling bad again and I just ate some soup.  So I'm not going back there.  I'm not saying they're a horrible restaurant or that their food is horrible but I am saying that it doesn't agree with my stomach.

So after we left there, we went to my mom's house because my husband had to give a phone to my mom's friend (the one who is helping us with the fence) and I showed them pictures of the house  and showed my mom my new purse and hung out for a little.  Then we went home and that's pretty much my day.  Anyway thank you again for your prayers and God Bless.

Pray For Me!

So I'm sitting here now waiting for tomorrow to come anxiously because we're waiting to hear back from the house in the country to see if we are approved to get the house.  Let me back up and tell you how we made the decision to go for this house.  So this morning I was actually excited to call this company called Rent a Home of Greensboro because they had this perfect house that was in a good neighborhood that had a fenced in yard in our price range.  So I called them as soon as they opened thinking that I could go see the house today and if we liked it, we could put an application in today.  But when I called they said the first appointment to see the house was tomorrow at 5 pm and that someone had already put an application in on the house but it hadn't been approved yet.  So was like GREAT! There goes that house but I still made the appointment for tomorrow.  Then unexpectedly, the girl who worked for the company that is managing the house in the country (the one with the horses across the street), called me and wanted to follow up.  So I explained to her that I was a little hesitant about moving there because there was no fence for the dogs and also there wasn't a mudroom or sun room that we could use as a dog room.  So I figured she would just say "ok well good luck in your house search then", but she surprised me and said "I'm going to call the owner and see if we can work something out".  So then she called me back about 10 minutes later and told me the the owner suggested that we get an invisible fence and that they have no problem with us installing that or a real fence.  Also they suggested that we put the dogs in the storage unit when it's too cold during the night or hot during the day so they can get some shade if they're not in the house.  So my husband heard all of this on the phone because he was right next to me and apparently he was impressed and he said he was going to start doing some calculations.  This surprised me because I thought he didn't want to have to deal with putting a fence up and I was under the impression that he had marked this place off the list but I think when he heard how determined the owner was and also realizing that this is in a great neighborhood, he went for it.  So he started going over some numbers and I thought, "this is my one chance to change his mind or persuade him to live at this place".  So I called my grandparents and asked them for money.  Now don't think I do this all the time.  It's probably been over a year since I've asked them for money and it's always for something important, never anything stupid like a TV or game system and I consider having to move because my landlord didn't pay the mortgage on the house, important.  LOL  Anyway my grandfather agreed to send me a large sum of money to help us out and my mom had already agreed to pay for the pet deposit ($350) so after he heard that, he was sold.  So we had to fill out the application and fax it to her so that we could get things going.

Now we had to get it in by 1 pm so online it was in a PDF form which means you can't write over it but  I found a website that allows you to do that.  But after filling out a 3 page application, they said it would cost 30 bucks just to save it.  I was like SCAM and printed the application out and my husband filled it out by hand.  Then we had to include his pay stubs, and a copy of our driver's licenses.  Then we had to figure out where to fax it at and at first I thought, The library has a fax machine but when I called them they actually don't.  So then my husband called his job but the office was closed because of presidents day.  So we had to go to FedEx Kinkos and they charged us over 8 dollars to fax the pages!  Anyway they got faxed and were received.  So they told us that as long as you have the application in by 1 pm it would be processed the same day.  So we waited patently but then the girl called us and said that her boss was so backed up on applications that he would have to get to it tomorrow and we would be the first looked at tomorrow.  SO that's why I need you to pray for me because we still don't know if we've been approved to live there.  We've never gone through so much to apply to rent a property but my thinking is that the more you go through the better the property will be.  But I already believe in Jesus name that we're approved and that we will live here starting March 15th.  Also we talked to my mom's friend and he said he could install a fence for us.  We would have to pay him of course but not nearly as much as a company would charge us so everything is falling into place.

On another note, I had my interview with Deluxe today at 1, at the same time as my husband was faxing the application at Kinkos and I think it went well.  There were a lot of situational questions, more than I'm used to for a call center job, and at the end she said that if I'm chosen to move forward in the interview process that I'd be contacted within the next 48 hours.  Hopefully that's a good thing.  Who knows.  But guess what?  I had yet another interview tomorrow at 10:30 with a staffing agency for another call center.  I think this one is an outbound call center but depending on the pay, I might take this one over Deluxe if Deluxe takes their sweet time moving me forward in the interview process.  So I'm excited about my interview but at the same time I'm anxious about the house.  They said since I have to fill an application out and do some testing the process could take up to 2 hours.  So I plan on taking a bathroom break in the middle of all of that and checking to see if we got the house.  LOL  I just can't take the suspense! 

So after we rode around faxing documents, we came back home watched TV, I took a short nap, and we watched wrestling.  John Cena rapped about dissing The Rock and that was funny.  But that was pretty much my day.  Thanks for listening and God Bless.

PS.  Please pray for me :)

A Day of Cleaning and The All Star Game

So today wasn't that exciting but when I got up, I started cleaning the house including the laundry, bathrooms, litter boxes, etc...  Then I took a nap and got up in time to watch the NBA All Star Game.  The game was cool but I did want the East to win just because of the simple fact that 4 of my boys in green from the Celtics were on the team.  Also the coach of the East team just so happened to be Doc Rivers, the coach of the Celtics so that was awesome too.  But the west won so that sucks. 

But tomorrow I'm going to see this house that I know is in a good neighborhood and has everything that we need in our price range.  So I'm excited about that.  Also I have my second phone interview with Deluxe tomorrow so wish me luck.  But that was pretty much my day.  I think I'm going to head to bed early tonight because I'm just tired.  Thanks for listening and God Bless.

Another Nasty House

So today my husband and I planned to go by this house and view it so that we could call the landlord and tell her we wanted to see the inside of it.  Now just to give you some background, I found the house on Craigslist.com and what I usually do is type the address in google maps and get a neighborhood view of the house and the street it's on so I can see if it's hood or in a nice neighborhood.  Sometimes I can just tell by the map and other times I have to physically look at the house.  So when I called the landlord yesterday she explained to me that she wanted me to go and look at the house first on the outside and then call her back so she could set up an appointment to see the inside of the house.  I then explained to her that I had seen the neighborhood on Google Earth and that I already knew what the outside looked like so I wanted to go ahead and set up an appointment to see the inside of the house.  She then told me that she still wanted me to physically drive over there first and then call her because she lives outside of Greensboro and every time she sends someone over to show the house, she has to pay them and she doesn't want to waste her money if the perspective tenant doesn't like what they see.  So I was like ok, so that's why went over there.  So we went there and we first noticed that the front porch looked really old and paint was chipping off and to tell you the truth, the rest of the houses on that street looked way newer than this one.  It was almost like a developer came on the street and paid everyone who had old houses off to build a new development and this particular owner decided to keep their old dilapidated house.  So then we drive to the back of the driveway and notice that there's trash in the yard.  Also the landlord mentioned before something about a tree and the fence not being completely around the house so we look and at the back of the back yard, there is a huge tree that has fallen onto a piece of the fence and crushed it.  In short, this lady hasn't picked any trash up, raked any leaves, mowed the grass, fixed the tree and fence, etc...  Now keep in mind this house has been advertised for months for rent so she's had plenty of time to fix it up.  So then I called her and of course it went straight to voicemail and I left a message saying that we were there and wanted to see the inside of the house.  So then we walked around the house and went up the steps to the front porch which was screened in and once we were inside of the porch, we realized that even the inside of the porch was just old and messed up.  I mean it was just bad.  So my husband said that he would give her another 20 minutes to call us back and right when were about to leave, she called me, and was like "well no one can show it to you today but what about tomorrow around 1:30?"  So my husband was upset and told me to tell her Monday because tomorrow we have to go to church and he has to finish his homework for the week.  So then she acted like she would have to check her contacts schedule to see when they would be available on Monday and that she would have to call us back.  So at this point my husband really didn't care because from what we saw, this landlord didn't care one bit about this property. 

So then we went to Chen's Garden in Greensboro and had some Chinese food and while my husband was in the bathroom the landlord called again and said that her dad could show us the house at 5:30.  So I agreed and told my husband.  So after we ate, we headed back over there because I figured that if all that was wrong with the property was the outside then we could work on that.  Boy was I wrong.  We get inside and the house smelled like fresh paint and I would say that it needed at least a few more months of work done on the inside before any human could live in there.  The house was advertised to have 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room, kitchen, and an upstairs loft.  The house really had 3 bedrooms and an upstairs area that you could use as a bedroom or den.  But it wasn't as it was advertised.  So basically every room needed the carpet replaced,  There was paint splattered everywhere from old paint jobs, the upstairs "loft" had stained nasty carpet that needed to be replaced, there were construction materials everywhere.  I mean what is this woman thinking?  Why would she show a house in that condition?  She's never going to get it rented out in that condition.  If we even thought about moving there, I would have a lawyer draw up a document saying that if everything wasn't finished in the house, we would get our deposit back and not be legally bound to live there.  Oh and by the way, the house had OIL heat which only came out of one vent in the whole house and when we asked her father if it had central air, he said "No you have fans".  FANS!!!  So not even a window unit!  And get this, the house is renting for the same amount that we're paying here and this house is larger and is not under construction.  The house was just a HOT MESS!  So after we left there, I was back into the mode of trying to get my husband to put an application in for the home we saw the other day in the country.  But then once I got home I realized that I'm going about this all wrong.

You see, the house in the country is nice but it has no fence for the dogs and we were willing to put a fence up but a light bulb went off in my head and I realized that craigslist is not the only place that I can look for a house for rent.  So first I went to the News and Record and found a few homes, then I just googled houses for rent in Greensboro and I found a great site that has 6 houses that are in our price range, have fences, and have everything we need.  So first thing Monday morning I'm calling them.  Those houses may not have horses across the street but we aren't going to have to pay someone to install a fence either.

Also when I got home I looked at the rental contract for the house in the country and something caught my eye.  It had a list of things that the tenant who was leaving the property, meaning deciding to move out of the property had to do.  Now at first it was simple things like wash the windows and clean the floor, no biggy.  But then the list went on to say that before we could get our security deposit back we would have to replace the eye on the stove and inside the oven, hire a professional carpet cleaner to clean all the carpet in the house, if we have pets, hire a pest control man to spray for fleas, mow the lawn, keep the electricity on until the end of our lease, etc..  I mean this list was out of this world.  Now I'm no expert but isn't that the landlord's responsibility?  I understand making sure the house doesn't look like a dump but when did it become the tenant's responsibility to handle what the landlord is supposed to do.  At the end of the list, it said "The house needs to be in move in ready condition in order to get your deposit back".  Again isn't that the landlord's duty and not the tenant.  As long as we repair any damages done to the property then we should get our deposit back.  Something is just a little fishy about this company.  So that kinda turned me away from that house as well.

So then my husband and I watched the NBA All Star shooting games, (the 3 point competition, dunk contest, etc..) and my boys in green Paul Pierce and Ray Allen represented for the Celtics in the 3 point competition.  They didn't win but were in the finals.  Then in the dunk contest, there were a lot of great dunks.  There was one with 2 balls then 3 balls dunked.  Then Blake Griffin dunked over a car and had a gospel choir singing behind him.  That was ridiculous.  Then I watched some Oprah and that's pretty much my day.  Thanks for listening and God Bless.

What a Beautiful Home!

So today we had an appointment to see this home in the country.  It was actually off of the Youngs Mill Rd. exit in Greensboro.  So the appointment was at 3 and my husband and I met there because he had a meeting at work before then and I was just at the house but we both made it there on time.  So we get there and the house has gorgeous hardwood floors throughout and has 3 bedrooms a bath and a half, a living room, dining room, a front porch, a side yard, a fireplace and a gorgeous kitchen.  So we walk through it and the only thing is that there isn't a fence around the house but the owner said that we could build one if we wanted to.  So what happened was the person that was supposed to show us the house was sick so she sent her husband to show us the house and while we were leaving I realized that across the street from the house was a farm with horses on it!  So if we lived here, I could look at horses all day.  It might not seem like a big deal to some of you reading but that is my dream.  I want to actually live on a farm one day and this is the next best thing.  Plus this house is still in Greensboro's city limits so we still get the trash pick up, the city water, and anything else that city residents get but still have a country feeling. 

So after we left there my husband and I discussed the house and I was so into it, I just kept going on and on about how we should put an application in but he wanted to slow down and look at some other houses.  My thing is, I'm tired of living in the hood.  NO JOKE.  I mean not to sound racist or anything, but I would like a mixture of cultures around me.  In case you didn't already know, I'm black so don't even go there.  I mean the place we're at now is one of those neighborhoods with mostly old people but there are a few young people mixed in and every now and then I hear sub woofers blasting, people cussing, the smell of illegal substances and I'm not saying this doesn't go on in mixed neighborhoods but I know when I used to visit my white friends growing up, I didn't ever see that.  I would just love to live in the country or somewhere where it is a little more diverse.  I mean there are some nice neighborhoods that are all black but who says I want that.  I want my children to have an equal chance of meeting and befriending children of all races.  Growing up, I lived in an apartment off of west market street in Greensboro and back then it was completely mixed and some of my best friends were white.  I think that helped me not become ghetto or closed minded.  If you heard me speak over the phone, you would have no idea that I'm black.  Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with talking in slang, Ebonics, etc... but I just don't speak that way probably because my mom is from NY and my dad is from RI plus all of my friends growing up.  I've actually dated white guys who are like "you're not like other black girls, you know how to speak and carry yourself" and I'm thinking just because I talk this way doesn't make me any better than anyone else.  Also I'm not mixed.  People always assume that I'm mixed and I'm not.  I'm light skinned but not super light.  Like my husband is high yellow, which means he's really light especially on his legs.  LOL  But me, I'm more of a caramel color.  But my mom is black, my dad is black and all my grandparents are.  The only thing is that my great grandmother who died before I was born on my grandfather's side, was full native American so technically I'm 1/8 Native American but I don't consider that mixed.  LOL

Anyway before I piss anyone else off with my opinions on ghettoness and so on, we made another appointment to another house tomorrow.  This one is actually not that far from where we are now but it is large.  So wish us luck on that one.  Hopefully this one will be clean.  LOL  But for the rest of the day today, we just ate some lunch and dinner and watched Fringe, Y & R, B & B, and that's pretty much it.  Anyway that was my day.  Thanks for listening and God Bless.

A Crazy Few Days

So I haven't written since Monday night but since then on Tuesday I had an interview with United Health Care in Greensboro and keep in mind that about 2 months ago I went in to United Health Care and did some testing and before I even got to my car, they had already sent me a rejection e-mail.  So I was excited to hear that they wanted to test me again.  So I went in there again on Tuesday and they did their little job description speech and so on and then it came time for me to test.  So I hit the button to take the test again and it says "You've already completed the test, there's no need to take it again, talk to your system administrator".  So I'm like WTF!  Because I KNOW the reason I didn't get the job before was because of the stupid personality test that they gave me before and so if they're going to use the same test results then obviously I'm not going to get the job.  So after I showed the representative the message her tone changed and she was like "Oh well, that means you can get out of here quicker than everyone else because you don't have to take the test again" because there were about 4 other people in the room.  Then she said "I have to find your file, you'll hear back from us within 48 hours"  Well I knew then that I didn't get the job because that's what the other lady said to me.  So of course by the time I walked to my car, they had sent me another rejection e-mail.  So this is my question people.  WHY THE F*** DID THEY MAKE ME DRIVE ALL THE WAY THERE JUST TO NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TEST, JUST TO WASTE MY TIME?  IDK Who cares.  I just know I'm NEVER applying there again, EVER!

OK, so on another note, if you read my blog last week you know that I had another interview today with a medical center in High Point.  So first what happened was on Tuesday, the interviewer called me and told me that she had to change the interview location to another place in High Point so I wrote down the directions and told her I'd be there on Thursday as planned.  The interview was today at 9 am and guess what she did?  She called me at 8 am to tell me that she had an emergency and had to call me back to reschedule the interview.  So at this point, I'm already showered, in the process of pulling my girdle over my problem areas, and ready to head out the door.  So I asked her in a calm tone, "When do you think it will be rescheduled for?" and she was like, "Either later today or tomorrow morning".  So I'm thinking, she's going to call me back within the hour to set something up.  NOPE  It is now 1:44 am and she has not called me back.  So I think something fishy is going on.  First she changes the location of the interview, then an hour before the interview is supposed to take place, she cancels and can't give me a new interview time.  Either she has already found her candidate and she doesn't want to bother with me or maybe they don't need to hire anyone.  Who knows.  For all of you reading, tell me what you think.  Do you think she's lying and hopes that I just don't call back and forget about the job or do you think it's all a coincidence?

But something good did happen today.  I got a call from this call center called Deluxe in Greensboro and I had an over the phone interview and apparently he liked my answers because I have another phone interview on Monday.  I'm hoping that goes well because God knows I need a job.  Also backing up a day on Wednesday, my husband and I went to look at this house because we are still planning to move and strangely enough it was literally down the street.  I'm talking about a minute walk, down the street.  LOL  And when we got there, we realized that this white guy used to live there because when I used to walk the dogs, his dog would escape every now and then and he would come out cussing the dog out demanding that he return to the house.  Anyway, to put it nicely, THE HOUSE WAS A MESS!  Basically we walk in and without warning the place had not yet been cleaned, painted, heck half the guys stuff was still there, including his huge dog cage that took up one of the rooms.  Now just to give you an idea of what we're used to.  We live in a 1700 sq ft house with 3 bedrooms, a bath and a half, a den, a living room, a sun room (aka the dog room) and a laundry room/supply closet.  So this house isn't that bad.  But the house we saw had 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a living room.  I'm not joking when I say this house was literally half the size of our house now and she was trying to charge $25 more in rent than what we're paying.  There were hardwoods throughout the house but 3 of the bedrooms were small and the 4th barely was big enough to be an office.  Then the kitchen was tiny and you had to put your washer and dryer in there.  Then we go to look at the "master bathroom" attached to the bedroom and it had dookie stains in it and apparently the previous tenant took the shower head because there was just a pipe sticking out of the wall.  First of all the realtor should not have shown us the house until it was cleaned, painted, and repaired.  Second they need to lower than rent to around $650 because I stayed in a house that was larger than that for $550 for 3 years.  Third, I have found that I am now going to ask how many sq ft there are in a property before viewing it along with their pet policy, and if the yard has a fence.  These 3 things are very important in determining if we're going to live somewhere.  So needless to say, we didn't contact that company again.

So then, I guess after the disappointment of that house, we decided to drive around the park that I walk my dogs in and see if any of those homes are for rent and we found a few.  There was one that actually was 2 doors down from one of our good friends house and I called and left a message at the number that was posted on the for rent sign.  Then I called and called and called and they didn't answer.  The reason we wanted to find out about that house is because it looked large on the outside, had a fully fenced in yard, and is close to our friend who happens to be a black belt so added protection there.  LOL  They still haven't called back though.  Then we called a few others but they haven't called us back.  But we do have an appointment to go look at a house in a country setting tomorrow so I'm hoping this one will be great.  I'm so excited.  I mean moving totally sucks but after everything is moved and in it's place, especially if you're upgrading to a nice home, it's all worth it.

But today after my interviewer "cancelled" the interview, I went back to sleep because I didn't know whether she was going to call me and tell me to come in an hour or what.  But like I said she still hasn't called me.  But after I woke up, I did some cleaning around the house and then watched Y & R with my husband and then some Law and Order and then some Private Practice.  Private Practice was very sad.  I looked over and my husband was crying for God's sake!  Anyway that was my last few days and I promise to write every day because it's hard trying to remember all this crap that goes on in my life.  LOL  Thanks for listening and God Bless.

Happy Valentine's Day!

So today I woke up around 11 and I fed all the pets and my husband called me and asked me if my mom was at home because every year he gives her something small for Valentine's day.  So I told him that she was home and he went over there and gave her a balloon, 2 small stuffed animals, and a box of chocolates which she loved.  She of course thanked him and told him he didn't have to keep doing this every year but of course, he will because he's such a sweetie.  So then I started eating my breakfast and my husband rang the door and he had an alien valentines stuffed animal, 2 huge balloons and a box of chocolates so I was happy.  I'm not really the jewelry type so I enjoyed my gifts.

So then I got ready and we went to Macaroni Grill at Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro.  I love their food and no one has better calamari than them.  So we enjoyed ourselves there and then came home.  So my husband and I were both unusually tired afterwards so we were going to take a nap together but by the time I got in the bed to sleep, he decided to stay up.  So I took a nap and when I woke up, I ate the leftovers from Macaroni Grill and watched wrestling with my husband.  Then I just chilled here at the house. 

On another note, I have a testing session tomorrow at United Health Care for a job.  I've gone there before for the same position and the same testing but last time, after I took the test, they sent me an e-mail saying I didn't get the job.  Hopefully this time will be better because it's in the middle of Greensboro off of Elm St. and the pay and benefits are great.  Also I still have that interview in High Point at this medical center behind High Point Regional Hospital.  So wish me luck please.  So that was pretty much my day.  Thanks for listening and God Bless.
